This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 669, Section 668: The Consumption of the Delicious Mushroom

The ultimate sword... a skill without levels, nothing special!

Lin Jun has now developed her own unique, level-free skills through her hard work and dedication!
Unfortunately, after summoning Norris and Karen, Lin Jun discovered that [Jue Wei] was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

Unfortunately, the two were not among the first lucky ones to taste this delicacy.

In a cave in the mushroom garden, a small green mushroom grows in the very center of the cave.

It looks like an ordinary, undeveloped hallucinogenic mushroom.

However, if someone with the [Magic Perception] skill were standing here, they would see endless magic power converging from all directions through the fungal carpet, continuously flowing into this tiny mushroom.

You should know that with such a large supply of magic, even a delicious mushroom would grow out of the fungal carpet like beans being poured out.

This little mushroom was like a bottomless pit, absorbing all that enormous magic power, yet its growth was barely perceptible.

Lin Jun didn't know if the last mushroom was delicious, but with such a rich magical power, Xiao Hei would definitely like it.

The skill 【Exquisite Taste】 is also unique; Lin Jun can add it to Puji, just like 【Life Essence】.

But it's unknown how much magic power it would take to generate even a small mushroom like this, let alone how much magic power it would take for a mushroom of that size.

In short, let's generate one flower normally first and see how long it takes to grow fully.

To be honest, looking at this delicious mushroom, Lin Jun had a feeling that it was a rare and precious plant that had absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for thousands of years to bear fruit.

Lin Jun didn't know if any plant in history had ever been described as having an "exquisite flavor."

But given the magical power required for this result, if it weren't for the magical power provided by Lin Jun's enormous fungal carpet, could an ordinary plant really survive long enough to bear fruit?
Well... maybe only Shenmu Laodeng has a chance.

Lin Jun carefully sealed off the cave to prevent any D-level personnel from accidentally entering while playing hide-and-seek. She estimated that just this one Delicious Mushroom would require the entire Puji Dungeon and some of the magic power from the Fungus Castle to sustain it for seven to ten days.

I just hope that the result after it grows up won't disappoint me.

……

The northern border, the middle section.

After the empire temporarily retreated, the little pig, who already knew that the enemy would make a comeback, commanded his army to begin deploying defenses along the Luo River.

The main reason for choosing this location is because of this river.

On the other side of the sea, because Qisi deliberately avoided it, Puji's sea fungus had not been able to find a real opponent to test its strength. This opportunity was just right.

Now, beneath the calm river waters lie countless strangely shaped ocean splashes, waiting for the first guests.

In addition to the soldiers of Fungus Castle, there were also many dwarves in the camp built on the riverbank.

However, the two sides were clearly divided.

On the Fungus Castle side, various races were mixed together, while on the dwarf side, apart from the dwarves, there were only some figures of heating puji.

The camping styles on both sides are completely different.

The mushroom fortress is a camp of low-lying mushroom houses of all sizes and colors, with underground tunnels throughout the camp for the Puji and soldiers to crawl into and move around.

As for the dwarves, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a small fortress.

It's hard to say which is better or worse, but in terms of construction ability alone, dwarves are indeed much better than fungus castles.

Although the dwarves agreed to the request for support, they clearly did not have much faith in the strength of Fungus Castle.

After all, according to intelligence reports, Fungus Castle only managed to hold off the Empire's previous offensive by sending a large number of Puji to their deaths.

The person in charge of commanding the dwarf reinforcements this time was a familiar face—General Duvalin.

When Inanna was sent on her mission, he was the one in charge of attacking the Molten Core dungeon, and Lin Jun's impression of him was that he was just average. General Duvalin was good at commanding battles, but his personal strength was not particularly strong, so this time the dwarves also sent Bardol along with him.

He was also the only dwarf who would brazenly run to the Fungus Fortress camp to beg for delicious mushrooms.

Unfortunately, no matter how many delicious mushrooms he ate, he could never taste the same flavor as the fourth tentacle again.

"Of course, of course, all intelligence will be sent to your department as soon as possible, so please don't worry."

After seeing off the somewhat arrogant dwarf advisor, Louisa's smile vanished, and she coldly gazed at the dwarf camp in the distance.

She certainly understood what it meant for the boss to bring in dwarf reinforcements.

One reason was to drag the dwarves into the mess and share more of the potential pressure later on; the other was to make them be parasitized by mycelium as much as possible.

No need for any intrigues or schemes, just provide these allies with the best medical support.

Louisa was curious whether, once the fungal carpet covered the mountains and most of the dwarves were connected to the fungal network, they would still speak to her in the same tone as if they were ordering her around.

Putting aside her own little thoughts, Louisa returned her attention to the important matter at hand.

According to intelligence, due to Eugene's efforts to garner aid from various sources, the Imperial army that has been organized this time is much stronger than initially estimated by Fungus Castle, and it is estimated that there are many highly skilled individuals among them.

Therefore, Louisa also decided to appropriately improve the overall strength of her subordinate Puji.

After all, pretending to be weak to outsmart others is a skill; if you don't do it well, you might actually end up looking like a fool.

Louisa didn't want to appear so incompetent, even with her boss's full support.

Therefore, batches of Puji were strengthened, and some were even given [Battle Intuition] again.

The only problem is...

Louisa was collecting information from various departments through the creep, but the speed at which she was upgrading the Puji was much slower than she had expected.

The new batch of Flying Puji groups, which were applied for and approved by the boss before, still haven't appeared.

This doesn't quite match her impression of the mushroom fort's production capacity.

I asked the boss tactfully, and the reply I received was:
"There are also important projects here... The difficulties are only temporary... The Empire hasn't arrived yet... When the Empire arrives..."

In short, I can't take care of it for the time being.

Louisa tapped her fingers lightly on the table; it seemed she would have to figure out a solution herself.

As she was pondering how to use the sea fungus to inflict heavy damage on the Imperial Army, weakening them as much as possible, an intelligence agent responsible for the Imperial side delivered information about some of the reinforcements Eugene had brought in.

Louisa took it and began to look through it.

Prince Vesalius sent two Hall of Fame bloodlines—that old man was quite generous; I wonder what price Eugene paid.

A troll army of Verallis—those tough-skinned creatures—are a bit of a problem.

Duke Levi of the vampire clan may have sent his assassins (this is questionable) – even if it is true, it doesn't matter, Fungus Castle has never been afraid of spies and assassins.

She turned the pages one by one until the last page.

Yvette, a newly promoted Hall of Fame member under the Duke of Eleanor.

Louisa stopped moving.

Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on that name for a long time.

After a long while, Little Pig licked her lips with a hint of amusement: "You've already reached the Hall of Fame level, huh? No wonder you're my best friend..."
